Pros
This company was at one time the best retail job that ever was. I worked there for 10 years in management in 3 different stores in 3 different states. You used to be able to make a living working here due to George Zimmer having a realistic commission structure. Since the current management took over, they've managed to take on $2 billion a debt (Zimmer had $0 debt in the 40 years he ran the company) They have been trying to pay that debt on the backs of the commissioned employees. In the beginning of 2015, the stock price was at $64 per share, it has since tumbled as low as $9 per share! I still know dozens of people that work there and they are all miserable and all seeking new opportunities!
Cons
It has become a terrible place to work
